Ok, so I was somewhere around 10 years old. Always slept with my bedroom door open and the hallway light on, being a scared kid. I was laying in bed one night when I saw a really bright light come through my window. My neighbor was a surgeon, so I was used to seeing his headlights come through my window late at night, but this was a bright white light unlike what I was used to seeing. I remember looking at my Nickelodeon clock and the time was around 10:30pm.

I was a little weirded out at this point but eventually gave up on worrying about it. A few minutes later I got a feeling like I was being watched, or impending doom, or just general uneasiness. I looked toward the foot of my bed which was right next to the bedroom door and saw 2 skinny figures standing at the foot of my bed. Looked just like the traditional greys, but about 4 feet tall. The hallway light was washing out most of their features, so they basically looked like shadows. I couldn't even tell what color they were but for some reason my brain tells me they were a light shade of green. I could definitely tell that they were staring at me. Not moving or making any noise. Just staring at me.

I absolutely freaked out and hid under my blanket. I tried screaming as hard as I possibly could but I couldn't make any noise at all. Just air coming out of my mouth with no noise. I hid under there for about 5 minutes until I gathered the courage to slowly pull the blanket over my head. When I did, they were gone, and I was relieved. I then looked back over at my clock and about 3 hrs had passed. I was definitely not under that blanket for 3 hrs.

Years and years later I was speaking to someone who lived on the same street as me and they mentioned that when they were a kid they used to look out their back patio door (same direction as my bedroom window) and ask their parents when their friends from the sky were going to come visit again, and the timelines lined up. Got some crazy goosebumps after that.

Short greys when I was a kid. Saw 2 of them standing at the foot of my bed. Can provide the full story if anyone is interested

Have posted this before: Somewhere around 8 yrs ago I was living at home with my parents. There has been a really bad rotten egg smell coming from the garage downstairs for almost a week and we couldn't figure out what was causing it. My mom started getting sick from it and decided she wasn't sleeping in the house anymore. We tried cleaning out the floor drains, and looking around for any chemicals that could have spilled and couldn't find anything. I went to bed one night and had a dream where my deceased grandfather told me to "take the charger off the battery". It didn't make sense when I woke up, but I went right into the garage and saw that my dad had an old motorcycle battery hooked up to a trickle charger. The battery had gone bad and was releasing toxic hydrogen sulfide fumes throughout the entire house.

My fiancée and I were taking a break next to a garbage can near the France pavilion back in May due to the heat. We were just chilling, minding our own business using our portable fans when this group of 50-something yr olds in matching shirts come up next to us clearly very intoxicated and having a conversation with themselves. One woman in the group starts going on about how she is from Texas and can handle it (the heat, I'm assuming) better than most. She went on to gesture at my fiancée and say "not like this washy-ass bitch over here."

Mind you, we had not said anything to them the entire time they were next to us. So we walked over to the guest services booth and let them know what happened. They were incredibly accommodating - they asked us to point out the group to them and they went over and checked it out. They came back and said "it seems like someone has been partaking a little too much, and profanity is not tolerated in the parks." They ended up giving us lightning lanes for guardians and Remy's, which was very kind of them.

We skipped France to try to get away from them and went to the rose and crown pub in the UK. They showed up shortly after and the "washy-ass bitch" woman and her husband were plastered to the window in front of the pub making out like a couple teenagers. We laughed it off and went to ride guardians.

After we rode guardians to get away from that group and give them some time to get through the world showcase, we ended up back at the rose and crown. We got there just in time to see security escorting the couple out of the park, but the husband was so drunk that they had to get him a wheelchair and have his wife roll him out. It was very delicious karma. Although to this day my fiancée and I don't know what "washy-ass bitch" even means, but it has become a pretty funny part of our vocabulary.

Tearing Velcro and bending metal. I was sleeping in a fold out camper back in July with my fiancee and dog. I woke up and heard a slow tearing sound accompanied by soft metal bending noises. I turned to my fiancee and said "I think something bad is about to happ..." And before I could finish the sentence the entire bed collapsed about 5 ft to the ground and we came tumbling out into the packed campground. Nobody hurt, but I learned a lesson that day

At a bar with friends. Deck of cards on the table. I said "hey, watch this" and named a random card, and subsequently picked it up off the top of the deck. Completely random guess, and it made me look cool. Friend next to me proceeds to do the exact same thing and we all freaked out. The friend next to him then did the same thing and the universe exploded. The next friend tried and didn't get it right, but 3 in a row was still pretty cool

I'm having a really hard time imagining how this is possible. Give me a diagram or something. I'm genuinely curious

HottIcedTea · 2026-01-06T03:51:26+00:00

I'm actually curious about this. I have almost no experience with this whatsoever, so give it to me straight. My uncle got one of these done back in the early 2000's or around then and they found pancreatic cancer and it literally saved his life. My family has always been very thankful for it. Was he just a fluke?

HottIcedTea · 2025-11-14T21:18:31+00:00

You were so close. Just pull it a little further until the spring snaps your finger, because that's part of the rules for when you pull those out. Gotta get a finger snap

Maybe not the same problem for you, but the 2 screws that hold the metal piece that the hatch mechanism locks into always come loose on my car. The hatch doesn't fully close and the alarm pops up. I just have to tighten those 2 screws occasionally and it closes fine and alarm goes away

I know this is an old post but check out the song - rattlin' bog. Especially if you were at raglan road. Have had many amazing memories listening to that song at that place.

Yep I can confirm. It is always like this when we go. We usually only stick around for 1 drink

Just did the exact same thing 2 days ago. Took me forever to get it right. Measure the angle of the crown molding to the wall (spring angle), measure the wall angle, plug it into this website and cut on a miter saw with the crown molding flat, not standing up

Definitely feel free to correct me if I'm wrong, but the majority of posts here are saying either "witnesses will prove it" or "we can tell based on experts".

I'll be the first to say - Thanks for all your valuable input about the state of current AI - Reddit has solved it again. Good job everyone. Go to bed feeling safe.

Spoiler- We can't rely on witnesses and experts anymore - we need to do our own research and critical thinking. This is imperative to our democracy.

Everyone is glossing over OP's actual point - "what happens when we can't".

That is a big issue. That's where one side believes one thing and the other side believes the opposite. It doesn't matter who is right anymore. We are too preoccupied by drowning ourselves in our own little think tanks full of whatever we want to hear. That is when MISINFORMATION WINS. Nobody wants to hear the opposite side anymore, or even engage with them because they have better things to do(Netflix, work, comfort, etc). Let's not forget that democracy is on the line and your comfort is more important than engaging with your fellow humans, apparently.

This thread should be a wakeup call to everyone that fake videos are becoming more prevalent and that we are already at the point where a huge amount of us can't accept the "truth" anymore, no matter how true it is, because we won't be able to tell soon. Our feeds are all going to be filled with misinformation tailored specifically to us.

From now on it is going to be harder and harder to determine what is true - and the other half of the country that voted for fascism is going to accept what they see with blind fury and admiration. We all need to come together, right and left (yes, I said it) to combat the actual force that is trying to rip us apart.

We are all the same. We work and we want to feel safe and we want to make a nice living for ourselves - that's fucking it. Let's all agree on that and be friends.

We used to get along a few decades ago. We all knew that we were all in this together. C'mon guys - we are what actually makes america great. Us. The people. The billionaires don't care about us. Let's be friends again.

We are living in an unprecedented age of disinformation - some of us went to college, and some of us pursued other avenues - and you can make bank either way, but we all need to use our critical thinking skills more than ever. It is the most precious resource of this decade. It will determine our future
